St Paul's Catacombs

Why go

The catacombs once lay outside the walls of Roman Melite, showing how the ancient city extended beyond today's Mdina. Different tomb forms and rock-cut dining tables reveal practices used to remember the dead. The extensive network makes this a more detailed archaeological visit than a quick look beneath a church.

What to look for

• Rock-cut agape tables for commemorative meals
• Underground burial galleries
• Several Maltese tomb types

Useful to know

• Combine the catacombs with Domvs Romana to compare burial and domestic life.
• Select the galleries you want to explore before adding other Rabat stops.
